I am currently in Level 2 taking NSG-320 Adult Health Nursing I and NSG-322 Behavioral Health Nursing. I wanted to ask for any advice on the best way to prepare for exams throughout Level 2. When studying, should I be prioritizing the exam blueprints or the course guides more heavily? I was also wondering if certain classes tend to align more closely with the exam blueprint while others rely more on the course guide content. Are there any study strategies, resources, or practice tools you would recommend that are especially helpful for success in these courses and on Level 2 exams overall?

So I took my HESI yesterday morning, about how long does it take to get results and where do I find them?!? I swear my advisor picks and chooses when they want to help 😂🤨!

I just started May 4….

First pharm exam coming up 😭 I studied and took notes from what’s on the blue print. Also studying what was given from the pharm exam taking tips webinar. Which was everything from the blue print.

Soooo studying blueprint will help for all classes with exams? I obviously took notes from whatever was on the blue print/zooms etc and learning it instead of memorizing. I plug the notes in chat and notebook lm and asked it to generate nclex style questions.

Heard there’s no med math on the 1st exam but I’m gonna lock in with dimensional analysis because I am STRUGGLING real bad with that.

Any tips overall with classes??? I’m really trying my BEST. I stopped working but I have a toddler but still making sure I keep my grades high and I’m getting better at studying. I found a way that works for me to where I’m actually learning. I take notes on paper, then take notes on my iPad, then ask chat or notebook lm to generate questions for me.

A friend of mine is finishing her BSN at GCU. Chose the school because our employer will pay for it directly, she doesn’t have any out-of-pocket cost.

In her first class, there was a group assignment and the student putting together the main PowerPoint has aggressively accused her of using AI, even after she offered to show her Google Docs edit/revision history, proving that she did not use AI. She has reached out to the professor and just waiting for her to respond right now.

I managed to finish all the schooling I want before AI became a real headache, so I am not sure what else she can do. This whole situation seems crazy to me and I wish I could do something to help support her. Any advice or suggestions?

I’m an online student for the Masters of AI. Running into an issue of not being able to see my quiz and exam results for anything in this class - just the grade. Does anyone know if this is the norm for other classes?

The professor told me it’s a rule they implemented for the class. I’m hoping and praying this is just a weird one-off class.

I would like to connect with those who are attending CONHCP this coming fall. So, I have some all white nursing shoes, but do not know if they will be approved because they have a small blue heart on them. I was thinking I could white out or paint over it! Does anyone know of what shoes to purchase? Also, are we suppose to have a separate watch and not use a iWatch with second hand face? Does anyone have a hand tat? If so what are you using to cover it? And I have heard we need to wear our hair in a bun or can we wear a bob without pull it back? When do we receive our paperwork with all of this information, or will we get this info during orientation?

Hi everyone,

Has anyone here attended the Tucson ABSN location at Grand Canyon University? I don’t hear much about the Tucson site compared to the Phoenix-area locations, so I’d love to hear honest experiences.

How did you like the program overall?
Where were your clinical placements?
Did you feel supported by instructors/staff?
How was the schedule and workload?
Would you choose the Tucson location again?

I’m especially interested in hearing about hospital clinical sites around Tucson and whether graduates felt prepared for the NCLEX/new grad jobs.

Thanks!

Not sure if it’s the right tag but I was a previous student I finished my freshman year completely and had abruptly left towards the end of 1st semester my sophomore year almost two years ago now. I really have been considering going back to school but I’m unsure of the process and if it’s worth attending university again vs community college first and then university. Another concern was switching from in person to online due to my current job and being full time and what would happen to any scholarships I won when I first enrolled. Advice would be greatly appreciated thank you!!!

What has or is everyone using to study for the midterm? I know there’s a section in connect but when I pull it up it says it’s broken. Would like to start studying now!

i plan to take the hesi sometime early june, and i was wondering if there were any tips or specific resources i should look into? for anatomy, i've been using the quizlet that's been going around to study, but for the other categories im a bit stuck.

are there any websites or books that i should use to help study? im not too fond of math so im a bit worried about that portion- if anyone could provide any links to resources that have similar problems?

and on average, is 3 weeks to a month enough for me to fully be able to study for the hesi? im hoping that its enough time for everything

Hi r/GCU! 👋
I’m a non-degree undergraduate student starting my first 7-week term on May 18th and could really use any advice from people who’ve taken these courses.
My schedule:
• BIO-201 – Human Anatomy & Physiology I (Instructor: Dalessandro)
• BIO-201L – A&P I Lab (Instructor: Pilate)
• CHM-101 – Intro to General, Organic & Biochemistry (Instructor: Wolanin)
• CHM-101L – Chemistry Lab (Instructor: Flaming-Buschman)
• MAT-274 – Probability & Statistics (Instructor: Zilinskas)
Specifically looking for:
• Any notes, Quizlet sets, or study guides for these courses
• Tips on what these instructors focus on for exams
• How to manage the workload across all 5 courses in 7 weeks
• Any resources (YouTube, apps, forums) that helped you pass
I’m taking these as prerequisites for an ABSN program so passing with strong grades really matters. Any help is appreciated! 🙏

Hi everyone.

So far, I have been enjoying online life. But when I look at my schedule, I see both English 105 and 106. What do they entail, and how much of a pain will they be? I take English 105 in July and 106 in February of 27.

Another question is the Christian World View class. I am not too worried about that one, but I am curious about what is in there. It's hard to find anything online about that one. Thanks.

Hey guys, what sources will you use for the at-home lab? Like, which YouTube videos did you specifically use, or which web pages will you use to be successful? My at home lab is next week just want to make sure I do it correctly.

Thanks for the help !🫶🏻

I didn’t know that I had to reapply for actual nursing to get a seat, they called me Monday saying that I am most likely not going to make a seat in east valley. They said I’ll have a better chance in Tucson, but I live in San Tan. Should I just wait for the next opening, go to Tucson, or transfer?

Hi! I’m currently taking CHEM101 online and was wondering if anyone here has taken it before. What were the exams like? Were they proctored, or were they just through ALEKS with a LockDown Browser?
